THE whims of some European coun-
tries ere summed up by a German
newspaper: Din the best French So
ciety it is the fashion to initiate the
language and manners of the street; in
Germany one is sickcned by the dried
grasses and plants which are used as
decorations and dust-catchers, and by
Ghe carved lideous faces, heraldic vult-
nres. and lions which form part of our
Stylish furniture. In England il is the
abuse Of Hsthcticism which has been
growing for some years."

which will interest the casual reader Of

absolute fidelity to ones client. The
lawyer is the adviser and director Of his
client in all his business affairs. You
are to do for him as he would do for

What is there to show for an in
crease from $40 900 to 1851 900? If it
be said that a larger city demands
m ore expenditure, the answer is that
the revenues derived from an in
crease OF business, more than meets
such increase of expense. 1t is a
universal rule that the larger the
population the smaller the rate OF
taxation. Here we have an increase
of rate from 81 to $1.60 on the 500 Of
valuation. There is this year little
reduction in the rate, but this is owing
to the enormous increase in the
valuation. But our reform Republi-
cans palter with us in double sense in
this for while the rate is trihe less,
the aggregate which the hard bested
taxpayer has to "dig up" to gorge the
voracious nav Of this Republican re-
form is much more money. The
amount is $4,000 more than last
year, and that year was 500, 900 more
than the previous year. What is
there to show for this? Where will it
stop? Stop it at the polls to-day by
voting for good men Vote for the
straight Democratic ticket!

TIE Tribune is concerned about the
length of the Presidents message,
which is to be sent to Congress to-
morrow. Our neighbor thinks its
largeness will be hardship on the
printers and on the public. 1t will
certainly cost something to transmit
$4,000 words and to "set it up" in
type. 1t will consume some time to
read it, too. Our esteemed contem-
porary is also Of the opinion that few
people ever do read Presidential mes
sages. So much the worse for the
people, if the messages are good ones.
and concern themselves in important
National issues. So much the better
for the people if the messages are the
reverse of the above. In the case of such
messages as came before the country
from Mr.. Lincoln's to Mr.. Cleveland's
days, perhaps the people were wise in
ignoring most of them. But it is our
opinion that Mr.. Cleveland IS messages
have had very wide attention on the
part Of press and people. With adj
mirable consistency the Tribune ends
the paragraph devoted to this ques-
ton by the announcement that the
coming message will appear in its col
umns in ertenso. 1t is not obligatory
on any paper to publish it, nor on any
citizen to read it. If We thought it a
worthless waste of money and time to
print or read it, we would do neither.

Republican City: Governments.

Statements are made to the e11eci
that the city treasury contains $780,
900; that this is due to progressive
policy inaugurated by the Republican
majority, who have ruled the city for
the past few years; that these estim'
able gentlemen found the city bank
rupt, and have filled its Golfers with
treasure.
Surprising there are 5000 in the
treasury. There ought to be. But
OF that 1851 900 is city taxes levied for
next year, and just paid in. What
will be left of it this time
next year? Then $4,000 of the
gross sum is for the new City Hall,
raised by the sale OF bonds. Another
large item of $36,31S is for the sewer
system raised by a special tax. The
several street funds show an aggregate
of $780, 900 and upwards. This is all
produced by special taxes. If pro-
perty holders on given street petit
ton to be allowed to improve their
street, the council could hardly deny
them the privilege, nor take any
great amount of credit to themselves
for allowing the good work to go on.
As to finding the city bankrupt
and leaving it well provided
with spelter, the very opposite is true.
They found the city with a large cred
it, and they leave it unable to sell
more bonds in the open market be-
cause its credit is used up. The legal
limit under the present charter is
reached, and capitalists thus far re-
fuse to buy more bonds. What is there
t , show for 100000 worth of bonds
heretofore authorized to be sold?
Since this party came into power in
Los Angeles they have heaped up
taxes to an enormous extent. What
is there to show for this? Here is an
exhibit for seven years. The first three
years show the very moderate
sums raised by Democratic
councils, and the later figures stand
for the exorbitant amounts called
for by their extravagant successors
who came into office under great
cry of reform. 1t is a complete an.
swer to all such talk as that referred

fore the people by recognized polit'
ical party is because that party ha'
abandoned principle and given itsel
up to expediency. 1t has tried to gel
votes by catering to every faction and
by being all things to all men. The
Democratic party, on the other hand
has kept on in the even tenor OF it
way. 1t has reasserted its principles
and stood with manly firmness upon
them. Not seeking for votes IN
the highways and the by-ways, II
has had no occasion to conciliate the
selfish, the INSCRIPTIONS and the de-
signing. Hence the men whose names
appear on its ticket have come there
naturally, and by no forced process
They are good representative citizens,
with no axes of their own to grind,
and only the public veal to advance.
With them the cause of honest gov
eminent is safe. With the others job
berry and corruption will soon hold
high carnival in Los Angeles.

residents of Boyle Heights. They
will appeal to the residents of that
part of the city ON sectional grounds

Gust for Chandler for long term will

Los Angeles Threatened with
Reign of Tweedism.

Shall Los Angeles have Tweed
ring to manipulate her municipal at
fairs, rob her treasury and pile up a
colossal Indebtedness against her?
This is the question that will be
answered by the voters to-day
not whether we shall have saloons
not whether Prohibition or the reverse
shall prevail, but whether our NUM-
cipality is to be handed over to ring
Of pirates, or to be placed in the hands
of honest and competent men.
We have seen that the Repub-
lican party has lent itself to nomina-
tions for the Council of men who are
not fit, and of men who are not to be
trusted. 1t has endorsed and asked
the people to vote for one OF the most
unscrupulous contractors and jobbers
of public work this city has yet seen.
This man now has 100000 worth of
contracts with the city. If he could
secure that enormous amount OF jobs
in competition with other contractors
and in his character of private citi-
zen, to what extent may he not go as
a Councilman, with the power to
give out to whoever may be
his factotum future contracts?
This man will be the entering
wedge, if elected, to a ring that will
pillage the city OF millions. He is
sharp and INSCRIPTIONS, and there is
not lacking material on the Republic
can ticket to make up most danger
GUS and formidable ring. 1t is not a
time for the taxpayers OF this city to
be led off by a motive OF sentiment
talism. The very life of our growing
city is at stake in this issue. If cor
rupt ring should get control OF the
Council now, it will fix itself SO
firmly upon our municipality that
nothing but a great public uprising
will shake it off. 1t will perpetuate
itself, and gather strength from
its own evil-doings. Every poor
mans homestead and every we'll
off mans lots and houses will be made
to "sweat" to enrich the jackals who
will fasten themselves upon our NUM-
cipal treasury. Street jobs, sewer
jobs, sidewalk jobs, public building
jobs, furniture jobs and every job
known to this kind of robber, will OPP
press and outrage the people. To
avert such a danger is dictated not
only by patriotism, but by business
sense. The Republican ticket has
some good names on it for the Coun-
Gil, but it contains enough of doubtful
material out of which quite formid-
able ring may be formed. If elected,
the ticket will at least afford in one OF
its names that of man who has
shown all the qualities to become a
Tweed. He is INSCRIPTIONS in his
political methods, believes that the
public were made to be robbed, is
devoid of conscience, false in his pro-
fessed principles, and in every way a
dangerous man. Around him will
rally the weak and the covetous, and
) full-fedged Tweed ring will have
control of us before we know it. That
such men could have been placed be-
